Race, politics, and opera production during apartheid South Africa
intersect in this historiographic work on the Eoan Group, a
"coloured" cultural organization that performed opera in the Cape.
The La Traviata Affair charts Eoan's opera activities from the
group's inception in 1933 until the cessation of their productions
by 1980. It explores larger questions of complicity, compromise,
and compliance; of assimilation, appropriation, and race; and of
"European art music" in situations of "non-European" dispossession
and disenfranchisement. Performing under the auspices of apartheid,
the group's unquestioned acceptance of and commitment to the art of
opera could not redeem it from the entanglements that came with the
political compromises it made. Uncovering a rich trove of primary
source materials, Hilde Roos presents here for the first time the
story of one of the premier cultural agencies of apartheid South
Africa.
